We booked this hotel as we were at the Gold Coast for an event. I was extremely happy with our stay considering how cheap the hotel was compared to others. It's in a super convenient location with a bottle shop and many dining options in close proximity. The room was cosy and clean and offered a great view. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and assisted us with a late check out which I am very appreciative of. You have the light rail literally at the door which makes using public transport concenient also. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great location, friendly staff and 2 pools to enjoy with onsite parking (at a cost of $25 per night). Rooms could do with an update, especially bathrooms which had mould and malfunctioning toilet flush mechanisms - compared to other summarily priced properties, the rooms feel very dated and run down (but clean).

The hotel is great and the staff at the front desk is wonderful we just never got any room service during our two nights stay even though the sign was up for over 6hrs. Easy to walk to the beach and grab some food and go to the markets. We would stay there again.

Staff were amazing, very attentive and friendly. Room was a great size, bed was comfortable. Air con system and some fixtures are a little dated but didn't take away from the overall experience. View out over the ocean was incredible. Loved the location, was incredibly convenient with a two minute walk to the tram stop that took you everywhere.

Nice and but tired room, could do with a paint and head board was a bit dirty. Great comfy bed and great facilities with a choice of two pools and a little gym. Food here was excellent and had great choices for a family. Breakfast was great and worth paying for and great coffee at the ground floor cafe. Excellent service from all staff although our room service left overs sat from early am to past 6pm at night outside our door where we left it and I had to ask that eve for the tray and left over food to be removed. Very central and walking distance to main high street. A few dodgy places to pass on the walk there though like a gentleman’s club but no issues at all. Tram right outside hotel which was super handy. I’m positive this is marked as a 4.5 star hotel on Expedia from memory, if so this is not a 4.5 star hotel but is a great family friendly place to stay on a budget.
